Patch from #4583, along with corresponding fixes in mythweb and the perl bindings. Switches QUERY_PIXMAP_LASTMODIFIED to send a unix timestamp instead of a localized string that would be affected by LANG settings.*QUERY_PIXMAP_LASTMODIFIED

Packet Data Format

(This information is from reading the code and packet sniffing. Do not take this information as a specification, as the developers may not have intended some of the following behavior)

A MythTV protocol packet contains two fields, the size and the payload.
The first field is the size, encoded as an 8 byte, UTF8 decimal string padded with spaces. If you are sending a 20 byte payload, the first 8 bytes should be the characters "20" followed by 6 spaces.
The second field is the payload, an arbitrary length UTF8 string made up of a list of one or more strings seperated by a the delimeter "[]:[]". Commands are sent to port 6543.

Backend Commands

(This information is from reading the code and packet sniffing. Do not take this information as a specification, as the developers may not have intended some of the following behavior)

Backend commands are sent using the above packet format. The first string in the payload is the command, possibly with whitespace separated arguments. There may also be other arguments in successive strings in the list, separated by the delimiter "[]:[]". The two types of arguments are not interchangeable, each command may require specific whitespace separated arguments as well as specific list arguments.

When testing your code with the protocol, be warned that all commands except MYTH_PROTO_VERSION, ANN, and DONE will silently fail until a successful ANN command has been received by the backend. This includes non-existent commands.
